Chapter 580 The Impartial Judge
One morning, Han Yu woke up from his sleep and glanced at the calendar hanging on his bedside table.
"So it's already this day?"
After changing into the uniform of the Chief of the Imperial Guard, Han Yu glanced at the chest area of the garment. It was covered in medals, all bestowed upon him by the Black King.
Reward.
Each badge represents an important figure from the Crimson Moon Dynasty that he captured. Han Yu sneered, finding it somewhat ironic.
As for the position of Chief of the Royal Guard, it was merely a title casually created by the Black King to attract attention, and it was even higher than the later position of Capitano, the First Captain of the Fools.
As for Capitano at the time, he was just a dutiful person, and no one expected that he would later perform an unexpected act of great righteousness for Teyvat.
Upon arriving at the palace, Han Yu held his usual morning meeting with the agents, but Rael was nowhere to be seen.
"I'll leave the rest to Lieutenant Nefer to personally assign you today's tasks. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." Han Yu stood up.
"stand up!"
Except for Nefer, all of Han Yu's subordinates stood up, saluted respectfully, and watched him leave the conference room.
“Logically speaking, Daines Reb should want to see me.”
Han Yu walked in front of the main hall; most people wouldn't dare to do what he did.
"Are you out of your mind! How dare you look directly at that lord?" Several guards stood in neat rows. One of the new recruits glanced at the man, only to be glared at fiercely by the squad leader beside him!
"I won't do it again, Captain. I was just envious. Sigh~"
"One day, I want to become a great person like him."
A few veterans nearby joked, "Young man, you have lofty ambitions, but reality is cruel."
To show off, the veterans started boasting, exaggerating Han Yu's true abilities and creating various myths about him, since everyone knew the formidable reputation of the King's Blood Hand.
"Even important officials in the palace have to bow their heads when they see this person. What if you glance at him and happen to be displeased? I won't tell you the consequences, just give me a look and you'll understand."
But how could that new recruit know how much the other had sacrificed to climb to that position?
“I’ve recently heard that we have a new Grand Judge.”
"You mean Mr. Villette? He's a real ruthless bastard."
Han Yu found a place, quite interested in the gossip about Villette!
"You dare to curse the Grand Judge in private? You don't want to live!" The captain looked at a veteran, afraid that someone with ulterior motives might overhear and use it against him.
"Captain, you're so outdated." After patrolling around, the group arrived at the rest room.
But the captain was also itching to get involved. He admired the man, but he couldn't resist wanting to see what was going on!
"Don't hide it, Captain. Take it out and let the guy have one himself." The veteran stared intently at the captain's pocket.
In Canria, cigarettes are a form of hard currency. Ordinary people can't buy them; only officials and wealthy merchants can obtain them.
"It's said that Grand Inquisitor Villette truly lived up to his reputation for fairness and impartiality. No matter if someone had connections, was a second-generation official, or a foolish son of a landlord, as long as they made a mistake, they were all punished!" The old soldier made a throat-slitting gesture.
"No way? You're going to get the death penalty for something you did???" The squad leader broke out in a cold sweat.
"Haha, just kidding."
"You kid..."
"Getting back to the main point. I heard recently that there was a prince's nephew who, with that kind of background, could practically do whatever he wanted outside."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded to each other. The prince's nephew wielded immense power, and ordinary people dared not offend him.
But Villette didn't care about that, and still held a trial.
"Didn't the prince use his connections to get his nephew out of trouble later?"
"Of course! That's his own nephew. Those big shots are different from us; they care about their reputation." The old soldier patted his face, barely suppressing a smile.
"What happened in the end?" The others seemed a little anxious.
The veteran beckoned with his finger, and the captain handed him the remaining half pack of cigarettes. Only then did he nod in satisfaction.
"Hahaha. In the end, Grand Inquisitor Vilette even took care of that prince as well."
Oh my god!
That's a prince, of royal blood.
Han Yu listened with great interest, as for the fact that Vilette could replace the former judge.
"It wasn't easy to get Villette into that position back then," Han Yu sighed.
As for the former Grand Inquisitor, Han Yu secretly placed books related to Crimson Moon in that guy's house, and then arrested him the next day on the grounds that he was a Crimson Moon spy, catching him red-handed.
The elderly judge had never been treated like this before. He was so angry that he died before the prisoner even arrived!
Then Han Yu recommended Navelette to the Black King. After going through many tests, the Black King thought, "Not bad! You are the next Grand Inquisitor."
Navelette served as the Grand Inquisitor of Fontainebleau for hundreds of years, and the Black King's test was as simple as a kindergarten math problem.
This gave Han Yu another source of intelligence, which was also part of the plan.
Daines Reeb often sought out Navelette in private, as both of them consistently upheld justice.
...
Inside a small house.
"Your Excellency, this is my residence. I hope you will not find it inappropriate." Dai was not yet so mature at this time, after all, he was only in his twenties, at most no more than thirty.
He poured a cup of coffee and pushed it toward Navelette with great respect.
"I know you are a righteous adult." Dain went on and on, mostly alluding to the Black King's past actions, his veiled criticisms were brilliant!
“I have checked your information. You came from a humble background and worked your way up through your own efforts.”
material?
Of course, it was Han Yu who arranged for Nefer to impersonate her. The record stated that Navelette came from a poor background, but possessed a heart that dared to fight against darkness.
At first, Dain was quite suspicious. After all, Vilette herself had an air of elegance and nobility, and she didn't look like someone from a poor family at all.
Navilette offered a perfectly reasonable explanation.
“I have been observing those big shots since I was a child, watching their words and actions, because only by learning these things could I climb to this position.”
As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and some people exude an air of authority or affability just by sitting there. As for Vilette, she gave off a very unique feeling.
He has a blank expression and is calm and collected in everything he does, making it difficult for people to see through his eyes.
“If you want to save your brother, I can recommend a good person to you.” Navelette took a sip of coffee and handed over a photograph.
Daines Reeb looked at the photo and gasped sharply!
"How could it be him..."
